Exclusive English Garden Sheds Make Their Debut in America
Spirit Elements, an American catalog company, is pleased to announce their new offering of English sheds, playhouses, and gazebos, manufactured by one of England’s finest shed manufacturers.
(PRWEB) October 8, 2004 -- The English garden shed has always held a special
place in the hearts of Europeans. Americans can now develop their own love of
the admired building with traditional European Sheds, made from Scandinavian
Pine, in a unique line of high quality Do-It-Yourself kits. Spirit Elements, a
U.S. catalog company, is pleased to announce the new offering of English sheds,
playhouses, and gazebos, manufactured by one of England’s finest shed
manufacturers.
The sheds, made from the highest grade kiln-dried Swedish
pine, feature many elements of European style. Solid tongue & groove shiplap
walls, planed tongue & groove floors and mortise & tenon windows
highlight the standard features of the European Sheds. Lower prices on the
imports have presented another value to customers, and Spirit Elements is seeing
a sharp increase in sales.
“Europeans have a different relationship with
outdoor buildings than Americans,” says Seth Chernoff, co-owner of Spirit
Elements. “They hold poetry readings and salon events in sheds, most especially
in Great Britain. We are seeing a cultural shift in the expectations of everyday
Americans as to how they view their garden sheds and what they have come to
expect.”
European Shed doors are ledged and braced with hinges that can
be placed on the right or left. French doors and windows use horticultural or
toughened glass. Roofs are made with OSB (Oriented Strand Board). Rolled roof
shingle is also included. All models include the necessary hardware and
comprehensive assembly instructions. Assembly can be completed by the average
homeowner using common hand tools.
These European Style buildings are
treated with ACQ, a non-carcinogenic, non-arsenic, non-chromium water-based wood
preservative. This environmentally friendly treatment offers superior long-term
protection against decay, insects, and termites. All buildings have also been
pre-treated with a honey-brown water-based stain.
Spirit Elements has
seen a strong increase in sales for sheds, playhouses and gazebos for several
years in their catalog business and these products have received rave reviews
from their most demanding clientele. The secret, owner Chernoff says, is in the
company’s ability to make it easy for customers to order and then assemble
garden structures that were once the apprehension of do-it-yourself
homeowners.
“These buildings are specifically designed for people who
don’t have a lot of time and carpentry skills,” Chernoff says. “The European
sheds look like they just came out of a Swiss mountain retreat, but they can
actually be put together in a day or so by unskilled homeowners. We’ve seen a
lot of purchases by people who want them for pool houses, kid’s clubhouses and
private studios.” The new wave of European Sheds is on its way.
